I'm writing an application that need to read notifications from a "MySql" database... I want send a message from my server to app that when a notification send to a user, it sync notifications with my db...
I read about it on net, and I found something about Google Cloud Message (GCM) that has a service called "Send-to-Sync Message" but i can't find a good tutorial... I don't know how to use this thing in my app.
Could you please help me or give me a good tutorial?
Does it need a VPS?
There is GCM documentation.There also you can find tutorial about GCM server implementation. Also about "Send-to-Sync Message" pattern you can read this advanced topic. And you can use for debug purposes my test push server. Hope, this help you.

I have set up push notification from Firebase console and I can send push notifications. However, I cannot send device-to-device notification yet. As I gather I would need an external app server that would observe Firebase nodes for change and then would fire off a notification via FCM.
I have seen similar question in SO here and a good but brief and not so complete explanation by Frank van Puffelen here. But I am still quite confused. Any tutorial or help as to how I can set up an app server (XMPP here) that would do the communication between client app instances and Firebase for sending notification when ChildAdded or modified and handling the key exchanges would be appreciated. (as I understand, FCM needs XMPP protocol for sending upstream notification)
Any help would be appreciated.
Following this tutorial.
Send Notifications from Server
What you can do is, setup an external server using your favorite technology to listen child_added or changed and respond to the notification requests.
We used the node.js app engine to handle this. Again the funda is to move people to use other cloud paid services.
Yours it's a good question... The firebase can't send push device-to-device, then if you want to do this one, needs a app server as you said. The other possibility that I thought for a long time is a create a independent service to do two things, the first one is constantly controls events as onChildAdded, for exemple and the second one, throws local notifications.
This is solution that i think works fine before to create a app server... At final if you try to do it, explain us your experience please! Greetings!
I know how to implement GCM in my App but I don't know how to build a server able to send notification to ALL the users.
I need something quite simple (just sending notification), could you advise me any services and tutorial in order to set up the server?
I wish something not to complex, because everything that I will need from my app is receiving whether simply notifications to display or to tell the app that some new data is available for downloading.
Thank you!!

If you're using PHP, you could use this approach to send GCM message to your client refer this
You could setup your own local server on PHP using AMPP. refer this
Probably, the simplest way is to add a cloud endpoint module refer this. Then, write a simple service refer this that sends the messages. Finally, let Android Studio deploy it.
I want to implement Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) for the sole and singular purpose of sending messages to Topics. I am building an android app. I do have an app-engine endpoint server, fyi. I am wondering: what parts of the Set up a Client App on Android process do I not need to implement?
Here is what I already included
google-services.json
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0"
the manifest edit portion (copy and pasted block pretty much)
But do I need to, for instance, obtain a InstanceID? What else do I need or not need? Ideally if someone has an example that exclusively uses "Topic Messaging" that would be great. But short of that, I can carry on with some pointers.
Do I need GcmListenerService, InstanceIDListenerService, and RegistrationIntentService?
Sending topic messages with GCM is very similar to sending regular messages with GCM. The only differences are that the client must subscribe to the topic, and the sender must send to the topic.
To you questions about do you need GcmListenerService, InstanceIdListenerService and RegistrationIntentService... Yes.
Please have a look at this quickstart which demonstrates GCM using topic and non-topic messages.
Also note that you should not be using:
com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.1.0
please use:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0
I want to implement notification of news or article in Android.User can put the new article or news on the server after that i want to show notification in my app through PHP MySql.Can someone help me how to do this.Thanks to appreciate.
PHP is a server side process - it only runs when a user/app/service requests the page.
MySQL is a server based database. It's not "connected" to your app.
Your app must then "poll" your website (it has to request data from it periodically). This is best done using an XMPP type service. You can find a lot of info on XMPP - basically, it's complicated to setup and run. It probably isn't worth doing unless you've already done it.
Alternatively, you can use an existing XMPP service. Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is an excellent option for most Android devices (any that has Google Play installed... so, it won't work on an Amazon Fire phone, for example). It's not "easy" to setup, but they do a lot of really hard stuff for you. Also, there are a lot of references for setting it up, like this from Google:
https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/client.html
You can use Google cloud messaging to display Notification or You need to create a service that always ping your server for new message.
please try 1st options its better.(2nd options is worst because it use more battery & internet data )
You can use google cloude messaging service to send notificaion in device so please register your application on google service all step are cover below link.
Open below link and follow step

You can use GCM (Push notification) and implement the notification generated method inside onMessage method.
For reference use this linkAndroid Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL
What you are looking is Google cloud messaging.
For Gcm you have to write a server in your case is php server.
For Gcm server code or for testing purpose refer this link.
Android: Test Push Notification online (Google Cloud Messaging)
But firstly it is best to learn about GCM itself and it's mechanism.
For this you can refer this link.
https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html
You have to do some settings in Google console which are all explained in this article including the android side code.
Hop i helped you.
I am looking to create an Android app that uses a MySQL database located on a server. When certain changes are made to this database, I'd like a push notification to be sent to some app users. My question is, is the Google Cloud Messaging Service required to implement this? This page http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html seems to suggest that using the Google Developers Console is also required. If so, is it possible to export this project into Eclipse? Thanks in advance.
My question is, is the Google Cloud Messaging Service required to implement this?
Yes and no, if you want to do real push messages then yes it is required however if you dont want to use GCM you can use XMPP to send messages to devices
Push notification can be generated using alarm in android.See this.
But here you are looking to send push notification after certain changes in your database which is located in your server,for that GCM will be a better option.You can find an excellent tutorial of GCM here.
